Quick Summary: Ohio’s state capital is not only packed with romantic things to see and do – stroll along the city’s Scioto Mile on the banks of the Scioto River or explore the American and European paintings and a sculpture garden at the Columbus Museum of Art – but it also has a plethora of cozy cafés, trendy coffee shops, global chains and tried-and-true roasters to grab a great cup of coffee.
